The Scots (0-5) went on the road tonight looking for their first win of the season against the Crusaders of Madonna University and were turned away by a team who had already played 10 games this year, falling by the score 76-66.

Despite the loss, Alma had some promising performances by its young team including a 20 point, four rebound night by junior forward Matt Brown (Midland/Midland). A second late add to the Scots' roster, freshman Keith Ginther (Harbor Beach/Harbor Beach) added 12 points and four steals while Venias Jordan (Detroit/Cody) and freshman Jordan Redditt (Detroit) put up nine and eight points respectively.

The Maroon and Cream will have nine days of practice before their next game when they will host Oberlin College on December 14 for a 7 p.m. tip-off.
